ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound in pregnancy associated breast cancer (PABC) under different breast ultrasound background echotextures.Methods:The ultrasonic images of 269 female patients with breast diseases who underwent breast surgery in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2016 to September 2023 and were pregnant or within one year postpartum at the time of onset were retrospectively reviewed. Breast ultrasound background echotextures were classified according to two criteria: the first classification was homogeneous-fat, homogeneous-fibroglandular, and heterogeneous; the other classification was hypoechoic dominated and hyperechoic dominated. The comparison of the diagnostic value of ultrasound in PABC under different backgrounds was conducted by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves.Results:Among 269 patients, 67 patients(24.91%)were during pregnancy and 202 patients(75.09%) were within one year postpartum. Pathologically, 47 patients (17.47%) were confirmed as benign, 222 patients (82.53%) were malignant. According to the first classification, 138 patients were homogeneous-fibroglandular and 131 patients were heterogeneous, with the diagnostic sensitivity of ultrasound in PABC were 88.70% and 59.81% respectively, and the specificity were 91.30% and 83.33% respectively, the areas under the ROC curves were 0.940 and 0.826 respectively ( P=0.022). According to the second classification, 119 were hypoechoic dominated and 150 patients were hyperechoic dominated, the sensitivity were 60.21% and 85.27% respectively, the specificity 84.62% and 90.48% respectively, the areas under the ROC curves were 0.826 and 0.925 ( P=0.042). Conclusions:The heterogeneous background echotextures of the breast may cause decrease of the diagnostic efficiency of ultrasound in PABC, and hypoechoic dominated background was more unfavorable for the diagnosis of PABC compared to the hyperechoic dominated background.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the value of ultrasound and Ki-67 for early predicting pathological complete response (pCR) of triple negative breast cancer(TNBC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed in 190 patients with TNBC who underwent surgery after NAC treatment at the Cancer Hospital of Fudan University from January 2019 to December 2022. All patients underwent ultrasound examination before and after 2 and 4 cycles of NAC treatment. According to the operation pathological results after NAC, the patients were divided into pCR group and non-pCR group. The differences in ultrasound and Ki-67 parameters were compared between the pCR and non-pCR groups, and binary Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent predictors for pCR. The ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy.Results:Tumor maximum diameter, relative change rates of tumor maximum diameter after 2-cycle and 4-cycle NAC (ΔD2, ΔD4), relative change rate of lymph node short diameter after 2-cycle NAC (ΔS2), T-stage, N-stage and Ki-67 showed statistically significant differences between the pCR group and the non-pCR group (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that ΔD4, T-stage, N-stage and Ki-67 were independent predictors for pCR ( OR=1.029, P=0.011; OR=0.300, P=0.009; OR=0.653, P=0.048; OR=1.028, P=0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of pCR was 0.804 (95% CI=0.742-0.866), the sensitivity and specificity were 67.5% and 83.2% respectively. Conclusions:The combination parameters of ΔD4, T-stage, N-stage and Ki-67 have certain clinical value for predicting pCR of TNBC.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the correlation between echogenic foci pattern of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) solitary nodule and lateral cervical lymph node metastasis.Methods:The clinical data of 475 patients with echogenic foci in preoperative ultrasound and pathologically confirmed PTC solitary nodule from January to December 2014 in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were retrospectively analyzed, which was categorized into lateral cervical lymph node metastasis group and lateral cervical lymph node non-metastasis group. Echogenic foci was classified into five types: local punctate echogenic foci, diffused punctate echogenic foci, coarse echogenic foci, mixed echogenic foci, peripheral annular and eggshell echogenic foci. The related clinical characteristics and the ultrasonic features were also involved. Chi-Square test and Logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the correlation.Results:Age, preoperative human thyroglobulin (HTG) level, maximum diameter, location and echogenic foci pattern distributed to lateral cervical lymph node metastasis of PTC solitary nodule in 475 cases, according to univariate analysis ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed diffused punctate echogenic foci, age≤35 years old, maximum diameter >10 mm and upper part were risk factors of lateral cervical lymph node metastasis of PTC solitary nodule. Conclusions:Diffused punctate echogenic foci in PTC solitary nodule, patients younger than 35 years old, maximum diameter larger than 1 cm and nodule location at upper part of the thyroid promote to lateral cervical lymph node metastasis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the prevalence of cryptococcal antigenemia and explore the related cryptococcal lesions in hospitalized human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV )-infected patients . Methods Medical records of 517 HIV-infected patients ,including patients'age ,sex ,clinical features , previous medical history ,laboratory tests ,chest CT ,treatment and the response to treatment ,in the Second Hospital of the Nanjing between January 2016 and February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed . The serum cryptococcal antigen (sCrAg) was detected by lateral flow immunoassay .The χ2 test or Fisherexact test was used to perform the statistical analysis .Results Among 517 HIV-infected cases ,51 were sCrAg positive ,of whom 96 .1% (49 cases) were men .The cases with CD4+ T lymphocyte count <100 × 106 cells/L accounted for 66 .2% (342 cases) ,while 90 .2% (46 cases) in sCrAg-positive patients showed CD4+ T lymphocyte count < 100 × 106 cells/L with statistical significance (χ2 = 14 .6 , P< 0 .01 ) . Multivariable analysis revealed that CD4+ T lymphocyte count <100 × 106 cells/L was independent risk factor for cryptococcal antigenemia (OR= 4 .7;95% CI:1 .8 -12 .5 , P< 0 .01) .Clinical cryptococcal diseases were found in 76 .4% (39/51 ) of patients with cryptococcal antigenemia , and cryptococcal meningitis (CM) ,pulmonary cyptococcosis (PC) and cryptococcal septicemia were found in 56% (28/50) ,52 .9% (27/51) and 44 .4% (16/36) of the patients ,respectively .Cryptoccal disease was not identified in 21 .6% (11/51 ) of the patients with cryptococcal antigenemia (isolated cryptococcal antigenemia) .The median (range) sCrAg titers of the patients with and without CM were 1:1280 (1:10-1:2560) and 1 :15 (1:2-1:2560) ,respectively (P<0 .01) .The proportion of CM in patients with sCrAg titers ≤1:5 ,1:10 -1:320 and ≥1:640 were 0 (0/10) ,50% (10/20) and 90% (18/20) , respectively .When cryptococcal infection was restricted to the lung ,87 .5% (7/8) of the patients had sCrAg titers ≤1:20 .30% (3/10) of the patients with sCrAg titers ≤1:5 had PC .The median (range) sCrAg titers of the patients with cryptococcal septicemia and with isolated cryptococcal antigenemia were 1:1280 (1:10 -1:2560 ) and 1:5 (1:2 -1:320 ) , respectively . Conclusions T he prevalence of cryptococcal antigenmia is high in hospitalized HIV-infected patients . Most patients with cryptococcal antigenemia have developed cryptococcal diseases .The sCrAg titer in HIV patients may ,in some extend , predicts the condition of cryptococcal infection .sCrAg titers ≥ 1:640 are strongly suggestive of CM . Patients with sCrAg titers ≤1:5 seems unlikely to have CM or cryptococcal septicemia ,however ,clinician should still be alarmed of possible PC .

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical value of conventional ultrasonographic ( US),US-guided diffuse optical tomography ( US-guided DOT ) and both combined to assess treatment response of breast cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy( NAC). Methods Eighty-eight breast cancer patients,totally 93 lesions were included in the study. Pre-and post-last chemotherapy,size,and total hemoglobin concentration ( THC) of each lesion were measured by conventional US and US-guided DOT before biopsy,the change of lesion Size( ΔSize) and the change of THC( ΔTHC) were calculated respectively.Based on the guidelines to evaluate the response to treatment in solid tumors,the responses to NAC were classified into complete response, partial response, static disease, progressive disease groups. The histological response to chemotherapy were categorised as partial pathological response and complete pathological response using Miller and Payne system. Results Of 93 breast cancers,the overall response rate was 81.7%,the cPR rate was 24.7%. According to ROC curve analysis,when ΔSize 42.6% and ΔTHC 23.9% as cutoff values to evaluate the complete response and partial response,the area under the curve ( AUC ) were 0.666 and 0.751,respectively,the AUC of US and US-guided DOT combined in parallel and in series were 0.680 and 0.737 respectively.When ΔSize 64.5% and ΔTHC 27.2% as cutoff values to evaluate complete pathologial response,the AUC were 0.690 and 0.728 respectively,the AUC of US and US-guided DOT combined in parallel and in series were 0.693 and 0.726 respectively. Conclusions US-guided DOT and US can be used to predict breast cancers response to NAC,US and US-guided DOT combined in parallel and in series can not improve response prediction comparing with US or US-guided DOT alone.

ABSTRACT

Objective To retrospectively study the quantitative features and diagnostic value of 3-dimensional shear wave elastography (3D-SWE) in breast lesions.Methods A total of 198 consecutive women with 198 breast lesions (125 malignant,73 benign) were included,who underwent conventional ultrasound (US) and 3D-SWE before surgical excision.Quantitative parameters of transverse planes,sagittal planes and coronal planes were calculated,including maximum elasticity (Emax-w),mean elasticity (Emean-w),standard deviation (Esd) of the whole lesion and ratio between the stiffest elasticity (Emean-s)in the lesion and the fatty tissue (Eratio).Area under ROC curve(AUC) for combination of quantitative parameters and US were calculated.Results The AUC,sensitivity and specificity for US were 0.919,88.0% and 78.1 %,respectively.In the total 198 lesions,Emax-w,Emean-w,Esd,Eratio and Emean s were significantly lower in coronal planes than those in transverse and sagittal planes (all P <0.001).AUC for combination of each quantitative parameter and US were significantly higher than those of US (all P <0.05),except Emean-w of transverse plane,while there was no significant difference among the three orthogonal plane (P>0.05).Sensitivity significantly increased by combining US with Emean-s,Eratio (transverse,sagittal and coronal planes),Emean-w (coronal and sagittal planes) or Esd (coronal and transverse planes) (all P<0.05).Combination of US and Emean w of coronal plane yielded significantly higher sensitivity than those of transverse and sagittal planes.Conclusions Combination of quantitative features of 3D-SWE and US can significantly increase diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity in breast lesions.Emean-w of coronal plane yields the highest sensitivity.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (US-guided DOT) to predict clinical efficacy of breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).Methods Eighty-eight breast cancer patients with 93 lesions were included.Pre-and post-last chemotherapy,the size,total hemoglobin concentration (THC) of each lesion were measured by ultrasonography (US) and US-guided DOT.Based on the guidelines to evaluate the response to treatment in solid tumors,the lesions of treated breast cancer patients were divided into 4 types of responses to NAC:complete response (CR),partial response (PR),stable disease (SD),and progressive disease (PD).Efficient groups include CR and PR groups.Results As expected,no significant difference was found in size and THC for untreated lesions (all P >0.05).However,for the treated lesions(P =0.001),THC,pre-vs post-treatment size changes (△Size%) (P =0.002) and THC changes (△THC%) (P <0.001) were significantly varied among CR,PR,SD,PD groups.When compared with pre-treated,tumor sizes after treatment were changed significantly in all CR(P <0.001),PR(P <0.001),SD (P =0.023) and PD (P =0.001),while significant change of THC was only found in CR(P <0.001),PR(P <0.001) and SD (P =0.002).When △THC% =23.9% as the threshold for prediction of NAC efficiency,the area under the curve of ROC was 0.75,and the sensitivity was 73.7%,specificity was 76.5 %,positive predictive value was 93.3 %,negative predictive value was 39.4%,accuracy was 74.2%.Conclusions △size% changes in consistent with △THC% among the intergroups,but their changes levels are different,the highest change percent appears in CR,gradually decreased in PR,SD groups.△THC% will contribute to predict preoperative clinical NAC efficacy.

@#Objective To observe the change of the latency and amplitude of auditory-evoked potential P300 after oxygen inhalation.Methods 27 healthy male academicians were included. They were divided into control group (n=12) and experiment group (n=15) according to the random numerical table, and they were blinded about groups. All subjects in the experiment group inhaled pure oxygen while air in the control group through a mask for 60 minutes. EEG was recorded when an auditory Oddball paradigm was performed during following 4 periods: before oxygen inhalation (pre0), inhale oxygen (air in control) for 20 minutes (Oxy20) and 50 minutes (Oxy50), 30 minutes after oxygen inhaled (post30). The latency and amplitude of P300 from target stimuli were calculated. Results The latency of P300 was longer at Oxy20 as (358.58±15.32) ms, Oxy50 as (353.42±9.41) ms and post30 as (354.10±10.42) ms than at pre0 as (335.91±15.40) ms in the control group (P<0.01). The latency of P300 was shorter at Oxy50 as (319.17±14.34) ms, and post30 as (318.50±13.87) ms than at pre0 as (332.98±14.63) ms in the experiment group (P<0.05). The latency was shorter in the experiment group than in the control group at Oxy20,Oxy50 and post30 (P<0.01). The amplitudes were stable in the control group (P<0.05). The amplitude was lower at post30 as (2.41±0.64) μV than at pre0 as (5.49±0.89) μV in the experiment group (P<0.05). Conclusion Oxygen inhalation shortens the latency of P300, and decreases the amplitude in the similar trend with the prolongation of oxygen inhalation.

ABSTRACT

Objective To retrospectively study the value of ultrasonography in diagnosing breast lymphoma and compare with mammography and MRI. Methods Imaging characteristics of 26 patients who were pathologically comfirmed as breast lymphoma were reviewed, including ultrasonography,mammography and MRI, and compare the diagnostic accuracy among the three. Results Twenty-four patients underwent ultrasonography and 32 lesions were found, with longest diameters averaged 30 mm.Tumors were mostly hypoechoic or very hypoechoic (81.3%), some were lobular (25.0%) or oval (21.9 % ) in shape, the margins were most frequently circumcribed (62. 5 % ), and a few tumors showed an echogenic boundary (18.8 % ). Color Doppler imaging showed hypervascularity in most tumors (59.4 % ).Ninteen patients undewent mammography, 15 solitary lesions were identified in 12 patients, asymmetric density in five,punctate calcification in one,and no abnormality in one. Eleven lesions were identified in MRI of 10 patients, 10 lesions showed hypointensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images, and heterogeneous enhancement after contrast. The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography,mammography and MRI was 83%, 52% and 100%, respectively. Conclusions The sonograms of breast lymphoma have some distinct features, the combination of ultrasonography and MRI might benefit the diagnosis of breast lymphoma.
